I love the fact that French people buy fresh baguettes every morning, usually from small local bakeries or 'patisseries'; it makes a change from the loaves of sliced bread that most of us buy from the supermarket here in the UK One slightly negative difference I noticed in Paris is that Parisians don't seem to make friends with their work colleagues to the same extent as we here What I like about it I really like the café culture in France You can always find somewhere interesting to sit and have a coffee and chat to friends or just watch the world go by I actually put on a bit of weight when I lived in France because I got into a habit of having a croissant or a cake in every nice café that I found Another thing I could mention is that the last time I went to France on holiday, I played a game called ‘boules’ every day The game consists in throwing metal balls as close to a target ball as possible It’s the perfect game for a relaxing afternoon when the weather’s hot #IBESTSpeaking Tự học IELTS 8.0 -Tiêu chí COHERENCE COHESION IELTS WritingCoherence: tính mạch lạc (giữa ý ý kia), cohesion tính liên kết (giữa cấp độ câu) Có thể bạn biết tiêu chí chấm thi IELTS Writing test Mình thấy đa phần bạn học sinh hiểu mơ hồ tiêu chí chấm này, nhiều bạn nghĩ COHERENCE COHESION Mình quote lại nội dung mail trao đổi với giám khảo IELTS Trung quốc Thầy giải thích cụ thể tiêu chí Mọi người lưu để tham khảo Vô có ích 1) “Coherence” means, in general, “understandability”, especially how understandable your essay is as a whole, that is, as a logical argument to justify an opinion To this, you need to state your ideas clearly, organize your ideas logically and show examples where the reader might have trouble knowing exactly what you mean so that the reader feels he or she fully understands everything you are trying to express (You don’t need examples of simple things – the reader is supposed to be an educated person, such as your university lecturer.) If you make a lot of grammar and/or vocabulary errors, errors that are not just small errors but bad enough to make it difficult to understand your meaning, this will affect not only your grammar and vocabulary scores but also, to some extent, your coherence score And if you have no idea or very few ideas, it is difficult to write a very coherent answer Erroneous ideas (such as misunderstanding the meaning of the question words) also damage the coherence of your answer 2) “Cohesion” is an aspect of language that helps to make the language more coherent Cohesion concerns the linkage of your ideas or, the language you use to link your sentences Mostly, good cohesion is achieved by beginning sentences and paragraphs with certain “connecting words and phrases” such as “On the other hand” This linkage of ideas helps the ideas that you write “flow”, making them easier to follow IELTS speaking and writing Corner thêm ảnh [OPINION]: Đây viết hs mà ad dạy.a giỏi Nghe bảo a đọc reading IELTS, học vocab viết Mn nghĩ sao, thi viết khó Cần chút nhận xét :)) p/s: leads>>led; cardiovascular>> ~+diseases; lỗi đọc lại Nguyễn Khắc Thức IELTS WRITING test in 8-8 task line graph task some people say that prisoners become good citizens later OTher suggest that they are the best people to teach school students about the danger of commiting a crime To what extent you agree or disagree?

Yes, of course I enjoyed playing with toys when I was small I think all children What kinds of toys did you like? I was attracted by dolls, cars and stuffed animal toys My bed was full of stuffed chicken, bear, panda toys and I always thought that they would protect me when I was sleeping In your country, boys and girls play with the same types of toys? Not really I think boys prefer playing with boy toys like cars, robots and girls would choose Barbie dolls, stuffed animals However, some boys and girls like to play the same things and enjoy playing together Do you think that toys help children to learn? Well, it depends on types of toys they play with Violence toys such as plastic swords or sticks would make them familiar with violent actions If we provide them suitable toys, toys will be a good way to encourage children to use their imagination and creativity How?

This week someone asked me a question which included the following statement: Some examiners not agree with the use of "I" in the writing test My question is: who are these examiners? I can't believe that examiners would ignore their training and penalise the use of "I" How are candidates expected to answer the question "Do you agree or disagree?" without using "I" or "my" (e.g I completely disagree)? Also, if the personal pronoun "you" is used in the question, why would personal pronouns be prohibited in your answer? My guess is that this misinformation about the use of "I" is coming from teachers, not examiners In my experience here in the UK, examiners are all well trained and they all work in the same way They expect you to use phrases like "I believe" or "I agree" when the question asks for your opinion!"

It is sometimes argued that tourists from overseas should be charged more than local residents to visit important sites and monuments I completely disagree with this idea Quan điểm “1 phần” When choosing a job, the salary is the most important consideration To what extent you agree or disagree? -> INTRODUCTION: Many people choose their jobs based on the size of the salary offered Personally, I disagree with the idea that money is the key consideration when deciding on a career, because I believe that other factors are equally important DISCUSSION: Some people believe that studying at university or college is the best route to a successful career, while others believe that it is better to get a job straight after school Discuss both views -> INTRODUCTION: When they finish school, teenagers face the dilemma of whether to get a job or continue their education While there are benefits to getting a job straight after school, there are also good reasons why it might be beneficial to go to college or university DISCUSSION + OPINION: Some people regard video games as harmless fun, or even as a useful educational tool Others, however, believe that videos games are having an adverse effect on the people who play them In your opinion, the drawbacks of video games outweigh the benefits? -> INTRODUCTION: Many people, and children in particular, enjoy playing computer games While I accept that these games can sometimes have a positive effect on the user, I believe that they are more likely to have a harmful impact PROBLEMS + SOLUTIONS In the developed world, average life expectancy is increasing What problems will this cause for individuals and society?

What should we do? ANSWER: It is true that there is the growing consumption of natural resources in many parts of the world This has potential problems, and we need to take actions to combat the issue The over exploitation of natural resources results in a number of negative effects Chief among them is a greater level of environmental contamination In recent years, emissions from traffic have increased significantly due to the growing demand for fossil fuels in the world This impairs the quality of life and decreases life expectancy of people In Vietnam, for example, a growing number of people are suffering from respiratory problems as a result of the deterioration in the air quality Another consequence is that the natural resources will be dwindling shortly in near future A possible scenario of this is that countries may fall into a fuel war, which threatens mankind as a whole The situation calls for prompt actions One measure would be that campaigns should be continued to raise public awareness about saving energy We can, for example, opt for public transport whenever possible rather than relying on our private vehicles This will contribute to a reduction in the level of exhaust emissions released into the environment, slowing down the progress of global warming The second remedy is that alternative sources of energy should be developed to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels Solar power, wind power and nuclear energy ought to be invested in to make them viable for public use in the coming years In conclusion, an increase in the world’s demand for natural resources is posing a number of threats to society However, this can be handled by adopting abovementioned suggestions (277 words – by Thầy Vinh IELTS -

Do people today trust others as much as they used to in the past? Modern people show an unwillingness to lend a helping hand to their surrounding needy people In the past, people helped others out of good will and intention and were often considerate and thoughtful of others’ benefits Yet, nowadays assistance is carefully calculated to extract certain benefits, people tend to alienate themselves from others, let alone help them However, it is good news to see many others are pretty eager and try to be helpful when there is someone calling for them 5/How people in your community help one another? Usually the help a person can takes a variety of forms Like taking an elderly across a street, helping a neighbor water the plants or the babysitting when the hosts are away Such actions are simple yet they can prove extremely helpful to the needy person 6/ How students such as high school students help each other? When it comes to help amongst students, helping others to cheat in an exam is the only form that should be avoided Other stuff like lending the others a pen when theirs runs out of ink, or help them gain insight into a lesson is highly recommended There are still many more meaningful actions, yet only those still in school can really feel and say in detail 7/How can charitable organizations help people? the aim of an charitable organization is to help alleviate the sufferings of those unfortunate or underprivileged By supplying relief food for flood-stricken people, or providing vocational training for the unemployed, charity has been playing a key role in bridging the gap between the rich and the poor, helping others to turn a new leaf in their life 8/What are some examples of such organizations in your country? The red cross for example has been actively involved in providing timely assistance to many in my country Besides, schools and local authorities usually join hands to hold some donation campaign; stuff like clothes, books has been greatly helpful to the needy Even churches and pagodas have activities that benefit those unfortunate: trips to orphanages or visits to nursing homes and so on These are just a few of the course of actions the community take to relieve the sufferings of others Tổng hợp từ vựng tác hại máy tính/ tivi/ game online The indulgence in online games is detrimental to + … : Sa đà vào game online hại cho + … To cause failing eyesight: gây tật mắt A favorite pastime: trò tiêu khiển yêu thích Compelling somebody to something: bắt buộc phải làm Health hazards: vấn đề sức khỏe Exert impact on: tác động lên To restrict somebody’s access to something: hạn chế tiếp cận với thứ ĐÁP ÁN GỢI Ý ĐỀ THI WRITING TẠI VIỆT NAM NGÀY 30/5/2015 – CHỦ ĐỀ DU LỊCH ==================================================== ĐỀ: Many people believe that international tourism is a bad thing for their country What are the reasons? Solutions to change negative attitudes? =================================================== BÀI VIẾT CỦA AD: Undeniably, tourism, AN INDUSTRY WITHOUT CHIMNEY, has brought economic benefits to host destinations from travel – related services However, there is a mounting concern that worldwide travel may lead to degradation in local environment and SOCIAL UNRESTS when many crowds of foreign backpackers flock to a host nation In my opinion, this concern is not quite groundless Indeed, pollution caused by travelling globally can be seen in plenty of well-known natural sites Take, for example, Mississippi, which is the second largest river of the North America Apart from a rise in harmful chemical nutrients, another reason as to why this river is heavily contaminated is due to the increasing number of OUTBOUND TOURISTS When visiting here, many would intend to illegally exploit its ecological traits for individual benefits and thereby ruining the beauty of this site The other negative impacts might be traffic congestion and sex trade As a SEASONAL INDUSTRY, the number of foreign travellers often increases dramatically on special festivals causing traffic jam in main routes Sexual demand, though just human instinct, may also result in such social evils as HUMAN TRAFFICKING or sex crime all over the globe To alleviate these problems, there is a recommendation that governmental bodies should strictly penalize visitors who BREACH ENVIRONMENTAL RULES From my perspective, this solution, however, seems not to be ingenious because tourists might think we are not at all hospitable Instead of this, the locals should instruct them how to keep host nations’ surroundings healthy Building more public transport to reduce traffic jam and LEGALIZING RED-LIGHT DISTRICTS exclusively for foreigners are also well worth referential solutions In conclusion, like other key sectors, international tourism may contribute to a decline in the quality of local life Therefore, municipal and central authorities need to co-operate mutually for A SUSTAINABLE TOURISM DEVELOPMENT ================================================= TỪ VỰNG NỔI BẬT: -An industry without chimney: Ngành công nghiệp ko khói Đây tên gọi khác ngành du lịch thân ngành du lịch khác với nhiều ngành nghề khác ko trực tiếp sản xuất hàng hóa ( ko khói ) mà cung cấp dịch vụ du lịch -Social unrests: Những bất ổn mặt xã hội -Outbound tourists: Khách du lịch nước -Seasonal industry: Công nghiệp du lịch theo mùa -Human trafficking : Tê nạn buôn người -Breach environmental rules: Vi phạm luật môi trường -Legalize red-light districts: Hợp thức hóa khu đèn đỏ -Sustainable tourism development: Phát triển du lịch bền vững Huy Vĩnh thêm ảnh IELTS SHARE #76: LỜI KHUYÊN BỔ ÍCH DÀNH CHO KỲ THI IELTS (PHẦN 5) Những lời khuyên bổ ích cho kỳ thi IELTS biên soạn thầy Matthew Kershaw giáo viên với 10 năm kinh nghiệm luyện thi IELTS Việt Nam Lời khuyên #21: Những ngôn ngữ hữu dụng cho phần thi Speaking Phần 1) Mệnh đề dùng để giới thiệu dùng để bắt đầu câu nói: I want to talk about… I’d like to talk about… I’m going to talk about… I'm going to describe… What I'm going to talk about is… 2) Mệnh đề bổ sung bạn muốn bổ sung phần nói mình: First of all, … Secondly, … Additionally, … Another thing … Another reason why … Furthermore, … 3) Mệnh đề tảng bạn muốn bổ sung chi tiết nói mình: At that time… It happened… It took place… It’s been going on for/since… It's near… 4) Mệnh đề diễn tả ấn tượng bạn muốn nói đến việc gây ấn tượng cho bạn: influenced me … affected me … disturbed me … had an effect on me … impressed me … motivated me … moved me … touched me deeply 5) Mệnh đề nói lên sở thích bạn muốn diễn tả nói đến thứ khiến bạn yêu thích: I enjoy… I like… most of all I love doing… Lời khuyên #22: điều cần tránh phần thi Writing 1) Cụm động từ Trong tiếng Anh có cụm động từ dùng để diễn tả hành động khác Với người sử dụng tiếng Anh lâu năm, họ biết rằng, sử dụng cụm động từ câu làm cho câu tăng thêm tự nhiên Tuy nhiên, riêng thi IELTS Writing, bạn ko nên sử dụng cụm động từ ko mang tính lịch chuyên nghiệp cần có Dưới từ dùng để thay cho cụm động từ quen thuộc mà khuyến khích sử dụng Writing let me know = inform drop = cancel get in touch = contact say sorry = apologize deal with = handle set up = establish 2) Viết tắt Các bạn lưu ý rằng, thể loại Viết nào, viết tắt điều tối kỵ Thay sử dụng từ viết tắt, bạn sử dụng thể đầy đủ Ví dụ: It’s = It is can’t = cannot didn’t = did not I’m = I am 3) Sử dụng thành ngữ Việc sử dụng thành ngữ văn nói chấp nhận thí sinh ko lạm dụng cách diễn tả Nhưng, văn viết, cách diễn đạt cho ko phù hợp Nhiều câu thành ngữ sử dụng khiến cho câu văn trở nên qúa mức độ Vì vậy, thay sử dụng câu thành ngữ thuận tai, thí sinh tìm cách khác để diễn tả ý Ví dụ như, để thay cho thành ngữ “raining cats and dogs”, bạn sử dụng cụm danh từ “heavy downpour” Lời khuyên #23: điều cần nâng cao hàng ngày Bạn làm để nâng cao điểm số bạn kỳ thi IELTS?

ANSWER: Laws and social practices surrounding maternity leave vary widely from one country to another Equally varied are the positions people take on whether maternity leave brings with it more advantages or disadvantages A conclusion will be reached following this essay’s discussion of these two positions On the one hand, the benefits young families receive from paid work leave are evident For one, it gives new mothers a chance to properly prepare for the birth of their child and recuperate afterward Not having to shoulder the financial burdens that come with taking unpaid leave, mothers can focus entirely on providing a healthy home environment for their new baby Thus, the advantages that come from maternity leave are obvious However, paid maternity leave can also cause some hesitation towards the hiring of women, particularly among high-pressure corporate positions For example, often companies in Shanghai will ask job seeking women whether they are married or not By hiring unmarried women, these firms hope to circumvent the need to provide parental leave should one of their married employees decide to start a family As these sorts of practices are not isolated to only Shanghai, it is clear that maternity programs have the disadvantage of indirectly encouraging sexism Following this look, it is difficult to say the disadvantages of maternity leave outweigh the advantages Thus, programs that offer new mothers paid work leave are thought to provide more benefits than drawbacks It is hoped that parental leave programs will continue to develop and improve into the foreseeable future (253 words - band - by IELTS Ryan) IELTS speaking and writing Corner IELTS Cô Thùy ED [USEFUL IDIOMS - TIME] Trong Tiếng Anh có nhiều thành ngữ liên qua đến THỜI GIAN, hôm em cô Thuỳ học số thành ngữ phổ biến dễ dùng cho phần thi SPEAKING nhé!

======================================================== BÀI VIẾT “Social responsibility” has seemed to be a pretty unfamiliar concept for enterprises because in their mind, this is none of their business However, in a highly–competitive market like today , to win and retain customers’ affection, besides providing high-quality products , each company needs to INTEGRATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY INTO THEIR BUSINESS MODE In other words, jointly handling social issues with municipal authorities is an ingenious marketing technique which FORWARD-THINKING COMPANIES should adopt The world in which we have lived is INCURRING SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES caused by manufacturing activities of companies Environmental pollution is a striking example Many factories, as well as, complexes severely contaminate surroundings due to the fact that they often dump useless and hazardous waste in the process of producing food, beverage and other products Accordingly, if enterprises TURN A BLIND EYE TO what they caused, they would be boycotted by the local residents Therefore, in this case, corporate social responsibility is not an alternative choice, but an imperative obligation Besides, as mentioned above, such social movements as charity, anti-corruption, poverty alleviation … are the golden opportunities for business owners to PROMOTE THEIR BRAND REPUTATION IN NON-COMMERCIAL WAYS Instead of only highlighting unique features of products like newspaper advertorials or TV commercials, these movements show the ways that companies shoulder their responsibility to the community where they are living in Therefore, although not make immediate profits, this will help firms FOSTER A LASTING RELATIONSHIP WITH BUYERS and thereby indirectly boosting sales target In conclusion, by partaking in social activities, companies will both appeal to socially conscious consumers and make a difference in the world It is also worth bearing in mind that business owners should be devoted and truthful to EARN THE PUBLIC’S TRUST ======================================================= TỪ VỰNG ĐẶC SẮC -Integrate social responsibility into their business mode: Đưa trách nhiệm xã hội doanh nghiệp vào hoạt động sản xuất kinh doanh -Forward-thinking companies: Những doanh nghiệp có suy nghĩ, tư cấp tiến -Incur serious consequences: Hứng chịu hậu nghiêm trọng -Turn a blind eye to something: Nhắm mắt làm ngơ , ko thèm quan tâm -Promote their brand reputation in non-commercial ways: Quảng bá danh tiếng thương hiệu chiến thuật phi thương mai -Foster a lasting relationship with buyers: Duy trì mối quan hệ lâu dài, bền vững với khách hang -Earn the public’s trust”: Chiếm niềm tin công chúng IBEST - IELTS Trang thích · · [IELTS WRITING] Task 1: The diagram below shows the average hours of unpaid work per week done by people in different categories (Unpaid work refers to such activities as childcare in the home, housework and gardening.) Describe the information presented below, comparing results for men and women in the categories shown Suggest reasons for what you see MODEL ANSWER: The diagram reveals that the number of hours per week spent in unpaid work is unequally distributed between men and women In households where there are no children, women are reported to work some 30 hours per week in such tasks as housework and gardening Men's contribution to these unpaid jobs averages a considerably lower 18 hours When children enter the household, however, the inequality becomes even more pronounced In families of - children, men maintain approximately the same number of hours of unpaid work as in childless households, but the number of hours women work in the home rises to 52 per week, much of it, on doubt, due to childcare responsibilities Interestingly, when there are three or more children in the household, men are found to work even fewer hours around the house than before the appearance of the third child Whereas women's unpaid hours rise to approximately 56 per week, the corresponding figure for men, 16, actually represents a decrease The data suggest that the increased presence of women in the paid work force has yet to lead to an increased role for men in the home -st#IBESTWriting Hướng dẫn viết IELTS Writing - Từ đến nâng cao số cụm từ kiểu "on the one hand" + "on the other hand" trông đến nhàm chán Lúc đầu học bạn thấy cụm hay hay, xong viết dùng cụm này, essay người khác dùng cụm Nói chung bạn cảm thấy nhàm chán có ý định ko dùng cặp Nhưng bạn có biết?

ANSWER: People have different views about what kinds of obligation a company should have While I accept that the top priority of companies is to generate profits, I believe they should also have social responsibilities On the one hand, I believe businesses already contribute to society by simply focusing on making money The first reason is that when companies earn much profits, they can expand their businesses, which creates more job opportunities for people Some big multinational corporations such as Apple or Microsoft can be a great illustration They have been employing hundreds of thousands of individuals around the world, which helps to reduce unemployment rates in many countries Additionally, when companies make higher profits, they will pay more taxes for the government This money can be used to invest in important fields such as education or health care, which will benefit society as a whole On the other hand, I would argue that apart from making money, companies also need to have social responsibilities Firstly, since the rising number of factories these days has led to serious environmental damage, companies need to take immediate actions to help protect the natural environment For example, they could try new technologies to recycle their wastes instead of disposing of them right away Secondly, corporations should also consider helping those who are less fortunate such as homeless or disabled citizens This will contribute to better society and also help to enhance the image of the company or the brand In conclusion, although companies should prioritise the need to make profits, I believe they should also have social responsibilities (264 words, by IELTS Quang Thang) Useful vocabulary: - obligation - the top priority - to create job opportunities - multinational corporations - a great illustration - to benefit society as a whole - environmental damages - to dispose of something - to consider doing something - people who are less fortunate - to prioritise something [...]... nói tiếng Anh và nói thật nhiều Tổng hợp bài mẫu Writing Task 2 của IELTS Quang Thắng IELTS Quang Thắng (www .ielts- quangthang.com) In some countries, online shopping is replacing shopping in stores Do you think it is a positive or negative development?
